"CMHC estimates metropolitan Victoria's population to have increased from 366,852 in 2015 to 380,860 this year, representing a rise of 14,008 individuals over a three year period. By 2020 the population is estimated to settle at just under 390,000 inhabitants."

So the current estimates by BC Stats are 413,406 for the Capital Regional District and 396,509 for Victoria's Census Metropolitan Area? The CRD is 3.4 times the size of the CMA, so I don't think I'm misrepresenting things when I say the CRD is effectively unpopulated beyond the Greater Victoria metro area.
